I know that many of you probably came here looking for recipes or the Rachael Ray FHM pictures, but I wanted to take a minute of your time to look at something I think is really important.
Millions of Americans suffer from severe arthritis pain and other aches. Some of you who have a tough time wielding your kitchen knives without wincing know just what I mean! Fortunately, we thought, modern science was providing a solution that would allow us to keep on chopping, kneading and mashing without a lot of pain. Over two million people took a drug called Vioxx to help them deal with their pain. If you are like me, you probably know someone who used Vioxx.
Now, lots of information is coming to light that the pill might be pretty dangerous. One source says that people who take Vioxx end up having a DOUBLED risk of heart attacks and strokes. Some of us who spend too much time sampling our own kitchen goodies are already running too high a risk of heart problems. The medicines we use shouldn't serve to make things worse... The problems with the medicine have actually led to a series of Vioxx lawsuits--and people are winning them. Scary stuff!
Feel free to look around the blog for tons of awesome Rachael Ray info, links to pics and all of the other fun stuff that brought you here, but also take a moment to look into this whole Vioxx issue. This page deals with Vioxx and Vioxx lawsuits. It provides some pretty frightening information.
Remember, even if you don't take the drug, you probably know someone who does. Find out more about the situation so you can inform them (and so you can just be better informed!).
See you back here in a few minutes, where you can find all of the best Rachael Ray info!
